Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joni Johnsso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gangles McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGee has chosen Old Souls Can Be Beaten by New Day Rising as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Joni Johnsso has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Joni Johnsso seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shachlo Popyachtsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Belfort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Popyachtsa comes into the arena with Upyachka Dance blaring out of the sound system. Belfort has chosen Burn It To The Ground as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
